Camera Lady endured a demanding first quarter in route to her 14th win this year — and 29th over the past two seasons — in the $18,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows on Thursday, Dec. 27.

Fox Valley Charm stretched Camera Lady to a :27.2 opening quarter before she could cross over. But when Dave Palone gave Camera Lady a :30.2 second-panel breather, she was able to turn aside the first-over challenge of Circle The Page and hold off Fox Valley Charm by a length in 1:54. Sansovina Hanover rallied for show.

Ron Burke trains the four-year-old daughter of Dragon Again-Ann Van Go, who extended her career bankroll to $275,798, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.

Palone collected three wins on the 11-race program while Jim Pantaleano and trainer J.L. Adams teamed for a pair of victories.

Live racing at The Meadows continues with a special Friday card that features a $1,628.89 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 1:05 p.m.
